"A true role model" - Fans react as TXT's Yeonjun expresses his views against the use of AI in a recent Weverse Live

Yeonjun of TXT shared his candid views on the usage of AI in Weverse Live. On April 30, 2025, Yeonjun, along with bandmate Soobin, interacted with fans on a Weverse Live.

During the live stream, Soobin talked about using ChatGPT and asked fans whether they use it or not. He then went on to say that he uses it like he is "raising a pet" and thinks it is cute.

Soobin then turned to Yeonjun and asked him whether he had ever used it, to which his bandmate replied that he had never used it and preferred to stay away from it as long as he could. Soobin then curiously asked him why he doesn't want to rely on AI.

Yeonjun pensively replied as translated by an X account @translatingTXT;

"how do i put this…everyone has different opinions but me personally…there are some things that are beautiful because they’re created by humans, right?

He further emphasised that he does not want to use it as it does not align with his artistic values. He further stated, as translated by the same account.

"like drawing, dancing or singing…i don’t want to rely on it for things like that as someone who is doing something creative."

But he eventually went on to say that he does not mean it is a bad thing in general, as the world is evolving, but he surely is curious about it.

Fans took to social media to express their thoughts about TXT members' views on AI. One fan remarked that the singer is a role model who has thoughtfully addressed AI in creative fields.

"Yeonjun always proves that the “4th Gen It Boy” title goes beyond looks and talent. He challenges gender norms, speaks against hate, supports communities, and now thoughtfully addresses ai in creative fields. That’s what impact as a true role model means," commented a fan on X.

Similar comments continued on X, where fans supported the singer and his views on the usage of AI.

"Him standing out about this is so amazing actually and hes 100% correct," remarked another fan.

"same thoughts! AI can be a useful tool for other things but not a replacement for human creativity...we are stanning the right group moas," reacted a fan on X.

"watching this again and i wanna add that art is not just something beautiful to look out or something that sounds good or pretty words... artist put their heart and soul into their work, their feelings, they work so hard to make something unique," a fan added.

More comments surfaced where fans praised the TXT member and called him "real" for emphasising not using AI for creative work.

"and ladies and gentlemen this is why i love this lil guy," commented another fan.

"he’s so real for that," added a fan on X.

"yes emphasis on "creative" as someone from that industry pls choose your skills and be proud of your talent," a fan wrote.
